When these characteristics are applied to European American males, entertainers, athletes, or other celebrities, positive connotations such as strength, virility, and sex appeal are implied (Hardin, 2002; Mirande, 1979)

However, when applied to Latino men, these same behavioral characteristics are described with negative connotations

Latino scholars have worked to correct the ethnocentric perspective of machismo and to more accurately include a male gender socialization process and view of masculinity

Machismo within its original meaning requires men to be nurturing, hard working, brave, proud, emotionally connected

Interested in the welfare and honor of their loved ones, including providing for, protecting, and defending their families and less fortunate members of society (Arciniega, Anderson, Tovar-Blank & Tracey, 2008; Miranda, 1997)

Maintaining honor, dignity and respect both within the family and in the community, along with caretaking and providing for his family, also appear to be central in conceptualizing of Caballersismo (Arciniega, Anderson, Tovar-Blank & Tracey, 2008)
